    Anyone think the players will sign in the players lot before the first playoff game?

    To further our complaints about LOTF... This is a smaller one than BHF but I purchased 2 8x10's of CC on Sunday (when they were still $60 and not $85). I was a little dissapointed to see that it was over $20 to ship to my residence in Wisconsin. Each photo was over $10 to ship. Come on though, Steiner Sports will ship any size order for $9.99. This isnt ebay.

    Right now, Matt Laporta hasnt done a thing in the majors. CC is the reason the Crew made it into the playoffs and has already concreted himself as the best in season acquisition EVER. That wont change even IF Laporta becomes an All Star one day. Laporta has done well for himself so far, but for every minor leaguer with Braun's stats, there are 10 more that have panned out like Nelson Cruz and Laynce Nix.

    Jimmy Gantner is going to be at LOTF with Rollie Fingers on the 25th in Delafield....just for information.
  5. BREWCREW5
    Im not sure on JJ, but I remember hearing once in High School that an average infield arm in the pros was 80mph.

    Brewcrew25---- You can get everything you need at Hobby Lobby and NO! I dont work there or have any of there stock! They have the UV glass. To the poster above who wondered what it cost to frame an 8x10 with the "good stuff"...I have a double matted, real wood frame (the cheaper stuff is fake wood) with acid free everything and UV glass...it cost me $40. It would have been roughly $32/$33 for single matted.
  7. BREWCREW5
    There is some very good information in this thread. I do all my own framing now. I used to take it to sports stores. I found Hobby Lobby and have never looked back. Dont go cheap though when you are doing it. What I mean is, you could do things a little cheaper and only really save yourself $10 bucks on an 8x10 photo. UV or "museum quality glass" is a must and is only dollars more. Acid free matting, Acid free backing and Acid free tape is also a must. Again, it is only dollars more. I am at the point now where I only purchase the photos now so I am can frame them myself. Hobby Lobby will cut the matting for your photo too. There is usually always a 40% coupon on their website (hobbylobby.com) and their woods frames are 50% off every other week. There you go. There are all my secrets.

    Thank you for posting this. This is such a great deal I bought two! Shipping was $9.99 from UPS though so it does end up being $30.00 when you are said and done. Two balls shipped was $50.00. That is a great deal considering a ROMLB is anywhere from $13-$15 for just the ball.
  9. BREWCREW5
    I would have trouble seeing my shoes with that gut.
  10. BREWCREW5
    This is pretty simple boys...as the old saying goes... If its too good to be true...it probably is! To those that are upset- What exactly do you depend on doing? Taking him to small claims court? This is a highly civil matter and not a criminal issue. How are you going to prove that playmaker doesnt know the jerseys arent "authentic"? How do you know any jersey is "authentic" really? Good luck. Who would waste their time for $50. I for one think the jersey looks pretty darn good. I will probably still purchase one. I wouldnt have it autographed but for $50 bucks, that is still a good deal.
  11. BREWCREW5
    PM sent on purchasing them. Thanks.
  12. BREWCREW5
    All of this guys clearly depends on how the front office views next season. It may be viewed as a rebuilding year and Hardy and Fielder may both be traded for a run in 2010.
  13. BREWCREW5
    The prices of autographs and collectible stuff has to do with what and who is hot at the moment. Braun is a young, exciting player and has a real possibility of being a HOFer. People want his stuff right now. Another great example would be of Fielder. Last year, his stuff was expensive. He had 50 homers, and was a possiblity for MVP. Even though he is having a nice season, his stuff is waaaay more affordable now than it was last season. I have a bunch of Yount signed stuff and Molitor signed stuff that I have purchased recently and it wasnt that much money. It doesnt make any sense to go to that Braun sigining with an 8x10 or even a major league ball. You can purchase them for much cheaper on ebay FROM mikita sports or from Mikita sports directly. I guess watching the player sign your item may be worth it to some people.

    Friends, This has truely been a horrible week in Brewers nation. Lets try to focus on something positive. Is there any chance that Gallardo could be back in September? Anyone know how he is coming along? Not that I need to tell anyone here but having him back sometime in September would boost this team to another level. CC Sheets Gallardo Parra Suppan Get some.
  15. BREWCREW5
    I cant see why anyone wouldnt like this trade. Weeks is terrible and personally, I am beginning to think more and more that he isnt going to turn out to be anything more than average or below. Durham is having a nice season and even though he is 36, it is still a contract year for him. Weeks needs a fire light under him. Face the facts here people, .218 batting average along with a .320 OBP isnt cutting it from the leadoff spot. I would also like to point out that the Brewers are last in the league for offensive production from 2nd base.
  16. BREWCREW5
    All I am seeing is the BP jersey. Anyone have a link to the actual authentic game jersey?
  17. BREWCREW5
    Why do the sCrUBS constantly have luck when it comes to picking up some other teams trash during the season? Last year it was Jason Kendall. He was horrible in Oakland and played pretty well (offensively) in Chicago. He hit .270 and had a .361 OBP. This year it is Jim Edmonds. He was plain terrible in San Diego and in 36 games with Chicago is hitting .294 and has 8 home runs in 36 games for Chicago including a .391 OBP. It always seems to work out.
  18. BREWCREW5
    Look for Hart to continue having a nice year (possible 30-30 guy) and sign a nice extension in the offseason.
  19. BREWCREW5
    Wow. Billyhallfan you need to take a few deep breaths. Legends doesnt charge $20 to ship a ball, more like $10. That isnt close to great, but it does come UPS and very quickly. Most players dont sign "for free" because a lot of people have ruined it for the honest bunch. There are people out there that sit right next to the players lot and go to the players hotel nonstop to try to get autographs just so they can make some money on ebay. That is why I heard Jeff Suppan the other day say "I'll sign, 10 and under". He didnt want to sign for the adults because he knows that most are just going to try and profit off of his "free" signature. It sucks. I collect autographs and memorabilia because I hope to pass it on to my future children some day. If you can buy it right, it is a pretty sound investment. Occasionally I will sell something that I have, but typically that is when that player falls out of the players I like or collect. Hart isnt going to sign anymore for "free" and either is Sheets. It makes complete sense. They want to get paid for their autograph. If they are constantly giving it out for free, why would anyone pay for it. This is 2008 and not 1960. Autographs have a big money market these days and that is just the way it is. Myself, I feel that if the players didnt constantly have the same adults hounding them before every home game, they would sign more.
  20. BREWCREW5
    Corey Hart and Ben Sheets are both going to be doing a signing for Legends of the field. See there website for details.
  21. BREWCREW5
    Are you trying to get BOTH bobbles for the ball? If so, you are waaaay high man. Braun bobbles alone on ebay are going for at least $50 and the Fielder is near that. A braun sweetspot ROMLB can be had for under $60 on ebay shipped.
  22. BREWCREW5
    Does each player have a line or is there just one line for all players?
  23. BREWCREW5
    Vote for him and lets get him to the All Star Game. He is our star and deserves to be there. Lets show him that Wisconsin can stand behind him and we appreciate the long term contract to our team! Vote!
  24. BREWCREW5
    Still looking for a Braun...I have a Sheets blue jersey for trade. LET ME KNOW!
  25. BREWCREW5
    How easy is it to get autographs at the block parties and how early do you need to show up to get in line. I need to get a Braun jersey signed and have been waiting for the ideal time to do it. Autograph Friday's brings some stiff competition and I dont have the time to get the stadium 3 hours before on Friday. I am wondering how hard its going to be at the block party to get it, anyone have any experience with it? Thanks.
